Rainbow Studios games might not have sold very well, but its failure will not be in vain

THQ and Rainbow Studios Deadly Creatures was a good game, it sold very poolyr but it won’t be all for nought with THQ saying that the work that went into Deadly Creatures will be used again. In a new interview, THQ CEO Brian Farrel has told G4 that "We wanted to see ’is there an audience out there that will play something completely different on the Wii?’" said Farrell. "Commercially, we were not pleased with how it was received, but again, the critics loved it and that happens in this business sometimes."

This means we’ll probably not see a sequel to Deadly Creatures any time soon, but the things learned and the technology of the game may go into other titles. "We don’t have a good post-mortem on Deadly Creatures," he said, "but one of the key things that we can build on there is we have great — that was developed by one our internal studios, Rainbow Studios — and we have great Wii technology there now and so we’re developing other games — stay tuned for the announcements — but we intend to leverage that great technology on the Wii in the future."

It’s good to see THQ not giving up on the Wii, but Deadly Creature could have used more marketing we think – then again people might just not like bugs.
